One boy's long road to recovery. Matthew was born two months premature with a rare fourfold heart defect known as Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia and MAPCA's, and Ventricular Septal Defect. He's had two open heart surgeries and will need additional heart surgeries in the future.
To appreciate the absolute miracle of this "3 plus million dollar boy", you'd need to look into the "Archives" beginning after his first 9 hr open heart surgery at Stanford, August 2005.

After 7pm Matthew was doing well enough to drink some clear Pedialyte from a bottle. They are giving him heavy doses of diuretics to keep fluid off of his heart and lungs. A side effect is dry mouth so this bottle must have tasted extra good.
